One sunny afternoon, the Sunday Drive team made their way to Tomahawk beach. Not in pursuit of some bloody story however, no, it wasn’t even a Sunday.
Their singular mission: to draw their blog title – A Sunday Drive – in the sand, to later put up as their Custom Image Header, in doing so hoping to capture what these drives were all about: adventuring to scenic spots here and there around Dunedin to soak up the outdoors.

Their first attempt was right by the water’s edge, which looked promising until the tide came in and nicked Amanda’s shoes. They retreated.

It still wasn’t quite right; they needed to be higher. They sighted a cliff and decided to scale its precipices to get a better position, only as they approached its foot an elderly couple looked up from their romantic picnic.

Finally the climbed the cliff at a respectful distance from the couple and got the perfect shot: Sunday Drive. They were just missing the ‘A’.
